Jacksonville-based Natural Life Announces Special Guest Performance by X-Factor finalist, Rion Paige

The twelfth annual Community First Natural Life Music Festival is proud to announce a Special Guest Performance by local Jacksonville, X-Factor finalist, Rion Paige on Sunday, March 16, 2014 downtown at Metropolitan Park.

Thirteen year old country artist Rion has a huge heart, contagious energy, and a positive attitude about life while dealing with a rare condition from childhood, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, that limits mobility in her hands. She emits happiness and a confidence Natural Life strives to teach girls of all ages.

With over 50,000 followers on Facebook and close to 19 million views on Youtube, Rion is organically creating a movement to empower girls to not let anything hold them back from following their dreams.

“I believe there is a deeper meaning why Rion and Natural Life have been brought together,” said Patti Hughes, CEO and founder of Natural Life. “To have her passion and drive at such a young age is truly impressive and inspiring for girls of all ages around the world. Even through the personal challenges she has faced and pressures of limelight, Rion maintains her values and beliefs and stands by them with conviction. Her faith and positive attitude allow her to do what she loves and live happy – she embodies what Natural Life hopes to help girls around the world find in themselves.”

The festival’s line-up also includes: Grammy-nominated, Sarah Jarosz, honeyhoney, The Autumn Defense, Della Mae, and Larkin Poe. Rion will perform mid-afternoon and we anticipate to increase crowd size at this year’s festival. Additional highlights of the festival include Crafternoon (craft stations for kids of all ages), an artisan market and food court with local food vendors amongst other fun activities for families. The festival admission is FREE and money raised from sponsors, vendors and Crafternoon tickets are donated to Children’s Home Society of Florida.
